Mid range tyre recomendation

[shortdan14]

hi guys,

I'm new but just to add. I've used Avon zz3, 225/40/18s on my last two cars. Reasonably priced. around £100 on camskill and they perform well in the dry and wet. They also look pretty good.

....A Warm Welcome to the forum, Dan, but what were your last two cars and what do you have now?

cheers

I had a Mk4 golf GTI with coilovers and ARB then a standard Mk1 Leon Cupra R. just sold it as going away so now car less :(

on return in couple of months going to be on the prowl for a red edition 30.

Just ordered two Goodyear f1 assy 2 for fitting next Friday :) £108 a tyre fitted. Replacing the Goodyear efficient grip that were on there when I got it. Will be putting these on the back with dunlop sport maxx tt on the front (still got 6mm on so cant justify wasting!)

....Until the fronts get down to ~2mm I've currently got Dunlop Sports Maxx TT's on the front and new Goodyear F1 Asymmetric2's on the back. Occasionally in a high speed bend it can cause the ESP to kick in. It's not a problem but to be expected when tyres are mixed because they have slightly different flex properties etc.

Yer, I'd like to replace them all but doing it in 2 loads makes it easier on the wallet too! 

Did you notice any noise reduction after fitting the goodyears? Going on reviews the dunlops are pretty noisy compared but are currently on the back.

....I'm not the right person to ask about tyre noise. I've never noticed any differences above the sound of my engine bay, intake, and exhaust. The only time I have been aware of tyre noise is in Hurdy's Ed30 on R888's which reminded me of sounding like an army lorry.
